Error: Too many valves to unpack?

My code says “too many valves to unpack” at the very beginning of my story. This just happened after writing over 2000 lines that wouldn’t affect the beginning, and I don’t see why it says it

Here’s what I have. The italics is where the error says the error is

EXT. ST JEZEBEL ISLAND WILD SIDE Z3 - DAY
label begin
@speechbubble is 158 308 to 100%
NARRATOR
Beginning of Episode 2
choice
"Allies" {
goto allies
} “Customization” {
goto label customize_begin
} “Recap” {
goto recap
} “Begin the episode” {
goto begin_episode
}

Then it obviously goes off to other labels, that, when they end, come back to the label begin, so

goto begin

What’s weird is that the error is on the background. I don’t even really know what “too many valves to unpack” means. Help?

That error usually pertains to spot and shift coordinate numbers. Check all of your spot and overlay shift numbers to see if you made a mistake.

Thanks for replying, but I had a timed choice later on and when I removed it, the error disappeared, but I still want to have that timed choice. Here’s what I had

YOU (idle_exhausted_loop)
(What should I do?)
choice [timed:5]
“Stay calm and take control: make sure they and eveyone else are alright” {
goto calm
} “Freak out: is the plane going to crash?!” {
goto freak
}

I don’t know. Turbulence?

Remove the colons in your option names. For some reason the script doesn’t like it when you used timed choices and have colons in the option names.

A colon is this :
