How deep the rabbit hole

You'll just have to trust my skill." she added with a small grin. "It's alright. My sister in law is in there as well. She will watch them until we can get the barrier down." she said, almost clinically. Roana was keeping her emotions at bay, not wanting them to interfere with the task ahead. But a few things he said gave her pause. "Were you not here for Long Night last season?" she asked him. But...a Long Night of peace? It didn't seem realistic. "Inside the barrier, Long Night is terrifying. People lock up their houses, deaden the floor boards with moss...monsters stalk the darkness and try to coax you out, pretending to be lost people to lure you into opening your doors before ruthlessly killing you...but then, sometimes they are people who were misfortunate enough to find themselves outside." she said, frowning. Really, was everything out here so different? "Tell me about her and her people....and the Greatwood. No one inside the barrier knows anything about this place because it has been up for 300 years."
