i don't know if you have noticed, but the Mail Man in BALLAD has got a Cat-shaped mask.
i wonder if wouldn't it be a link with the cat that he crashed on the road...
what do you think ? Maybe the mail man is actually the "Cat-Spirit", who remind him why he's stuck in this middle world (between physical world and heaven)...
I don't really know, i didn't understand the story well...
