[b]Therefore, I still question the usage.[/b]
Using twi-lit would clash with twilight right below it.
“where twilight shelters me where the poltergeist appears” Hmmm – wears out the wheres, dontcha think?
What I meant was: here in this twi-lit room where the poltergeist appears.
Do poltergeists have footsteps? Is it the poltergeist making the footsteps? One assumes from the text that it is.
You feel a draft?
Regards,
Jax
