I know! I'm so sorry! Unfortunately, you found a bug that was extremely serious--and I'm so grateful to you for finding it! I want to thank you for this, can I send you some stickers or charms? I'm really extremely thankful.
In the meantime, you can go into options, select the "skip all text" option, and then hold down ctrl to skip text really fast. You'll be able to get back through really fast :)
