Reading the sentence here (The party was not merely <it pauses here for like 2 seconds> watching. While the actors performed for their unseen audience...)

I'm getting a pause before the last word for no reason. I have no pause or anything and this keeps happening like there is a lag in the audio clips, I've used up about 25k in characters generating my latest chapter and it has them all throughout, but it didn't when I ran them as a test.
