Not about the NVL, but in your screen you are using Notepad++ for editing. It's been like a decade since I even touched Notepad++ but it's showing the dialogue text "with" and "return" highlight in blue... like it considers it code.

Are you sure you didn't add a regular line break at "... of her period,"?

In Atom and VSC that is exactly how it looks if you miss an opening or closing quote.

If that's just Notepad++ doing something funky, then disregard.

I agree you should increase your text box size to better match your dialogue.

Np++ is the best light weight editor on windows.
it supports syntax highlighting and all that jizz.
But keep in mind. Np++ is a Editor.. Not a full blown IDE.
There is a huge difference.

I used to use Atom when I first started to learn Ren'py, but it's been deprecated and when I did my last SDK update, Ren'py basically forced me to load Visual Studio Code. I could have changed that if I wanted, but I gave it a try and I am really liking it a lot! So I am sticking with that. Like n00bi said above, it's a full blown Integrated Development Environment and it found code errors even before I ran any LINT's or other tests. It also seems to use most of the same shortcuts Atom use for things like searches and search & replace... that sort of thing. So I didn't have to re-learn all new shortcuts. All I did was just change some text colors to be closer to what I was used to with Atom and left the rest pretty much default.
