Whoa Saki looks like, speaks, says stuff, sings, likes milk exactly like Saya. Poor Train he misses Saya and Saki protects something important by herself, she also lost people. I bet Train knew it was out of gas.

I didn't understand this episode at all... Who was that Saki girl anyway? Was all a delusion? The fortress, the big monsters, etc? All of a sudden Train meets with Sven and the others again? Weird...

Okay, I'm completely confused. None of the scenes with Saki seemed real, what with the people being able to see the future, the child being saved, etc. It had no point to the main plot, like, what-so-ever. All it really did was show how badly Train misses Saya..

remember what the guy said about the fog, it seems this fog is some mystic power, so it was like example a ghost house a house that existed once became real again like in one movie doctor goes on a house making house call and leaves and at the end when he returns its like old abandoned house and ppl talk it has been centuries like this, the supernatural power there was so strong that it created a illusion of the past, made it look like when it wasn't abandoned and ppl living there, and whats crazier he boned one of the woman living there, boned a ghost thinking she was real cause it looked real but in the end it was gone

It could have been a dream, it could not have been. I really wonder why this Black Cat wikia and some others are convinced that it was. Yes, the episode is called "The Napping Cat" and here was a shadowy filter. But that does not mean that it was not something els eof supernatural nature.

1. Train finds himself on the montain surrounded by fog which is said to mean something as the INN guy says. During that time he sees Saya and there is no filter.
2. He suddenly wakes up and there is a filter. He gets some cryptic explanation and then talks to Saya again.
3. He gets punched by Sven and the filter is gone. He is suddenly in the middle of the forest. What the hell did he do? I can easily see all Saya parts as daydreams, visions or whaever but the fact that he was somewhere else, there was no filter, a filter was used and is gone when heis suddenly somewhere does not reveal anything about him sleeping somewhere all the time at all.

I think Saki was something dream-like but not exactly a dream. I think she and everythig about her was some supernatural "dream-like dimension" that Train needed and in which Saki was an actual person.

Hmm, this is such a mysterious episode and it ended abruptly like a dream too.

Saki and that outfit is really cute.

We're getting into the last few episodes here. So, I'm guessing Train's current journey will lead to the final confrontation with Creed?

Well, that was an interesting episode. I'm not sure if that was a dream sequence or not. I sort of think he stumbled into a place that was hidden by some mystical force. Saki did have a lot of traps around her house, and it makes sense that if she and the child were real, they would need to be in a place hard to get to. But, I wouldn't be surprised if this episode was meant to be "open to interpretation."

Sven and co. running out of gas at the end was amusing, lol.
