It's been a while since I last used renpy, but I hope this helps! If I'm mistaken, a pro can step in.
The current nvl textbox is quite small. With your setup, players need to scroll using the mouse wheel to read everything.
Edit the nvl screen in screens.rpy (or maybe gui.rpy/options.rpy). You're looking for something like this:
By the way... For narration, it’s better to define the narrator like this:
Because by default, nvl mode stacks all previous nvl dialogue lines unless you use nvl clear. This works well for things like email or text messaging simulations. Now, using clear_window=True makes the textbox clear automatically for narration, which is what you're aiming for.
Best of luck with your new game! If this isn't a troll, don't hesitate to reach out for more assistance.

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.
