}“Eh?”{

    NARRATOR
Here is the 2nd option they could pick and the dialogue they'll see.

    NARRATOR
It's good to keep a few lines of dialogue, so it feels unique.

    NARRATOR
Change "NARRATOR" in all of these to the characters you have talking.

    NARRATOR
You can also add as much dialogue as you want!

}

#}

the overlay looks like this

What I always do is use the overlay helper and try to look if I can move the overlay that way. maybe this overlay is so big that it has been put in zone 2 ? anyway try to play with the overlay helper

@weebmaster
So I checked it for you and indeed the overlay is so big that it just stands in zone 2

You need to make it smaller or move it to the right spot
