Yes, there's a reason I'm using past progressive -- but I'm willing to concede that I might be overusing it or I might be wrong in my strategy. There's layers and layers of past in the story, and it's told in story past, so I want to have different past tenses to distinguish and interconnect the layers. If I used simple past for everything (one of the possible strategies I was offered in good faith) I think it would exacerbate the flat-affect problem that I have.

Everything I hear about Welsh increases its exotic air.
