Why is it only her that has this time "travelling" ability after learning the aliens language when plenty of other people learnt the aliens non linear time language? She had innate dormant psychic abilities already?
Based on the original story, the aliens have two languages. The spoken language is linear and fairly straightforward. The written language is completely different, and encompasses time in a non-linear way. Learning this language rewrites her mind to perceive time in a non-linear fashion.
