How do I do both nvl mode and adv mode?

I wanted to use NVL mode in certain parts of my game, mostly for lengthy narrations or at the endings. But I still wanted to use ADV mode (textbox) overall for the game when the characters speak or when the MC thinks/has short narration moments.

It's been done in Katawa Shoujo, I believe, and they used renpy. So I think it's possible, just can't figure out how.

What I do is define the same character/thing twice, but with different narration. One of them normal and the other one kind=nvl. Maybe it's wierd but it works for me and I've had no trouble with it till now.

Glad I was useful for once XD. Maybe there's an easiest way to do it but it's out of my league :(.

Well, this seems fairly easy so far. At least it works lol.
But in the midst of solving this problem, I came across another. :( For some reason my side image appears twice when i add in a background image.
