Taking it to Twitter, one of the fans claimed that Melanie might die alone in the research station. The user believes that even if the train arrives for rescuing her, it might be too late for Melanie to survive the harsh weather with minimal resources. Meanwhile, another user claimed that Melanie would not be able to survive at the research station because there is not enough food available for her. The protagonist could save herself by doing extreme things, but it is not as easy as it sounds.

Meanwhile, another Redditor believed that seeing Melanie die will be catastrophic for the people of Snowpiercer and it would be too easy for Wilford to take control of the train. The user wrote, “I really hope Melanie survives the season, but I have a feeling Javi (the non-Ben engineer) might bite the dust. Melanie and/or Ben dying would be a catastrophe for Snowpiercer and pave the way for Wilford to easily take control of Snowpiercer.”
