From the author on Twitter. I dunno why, but he/she spoils his own manga from time to time.
Simple reason. He loves torturing us. Some authors treat it like crack. Jim Butcher was once asked on Twitter what part of the next book he was writing at that moment. His answer was met with shock and trepidation that it was accurate and not a lie. Turns out, the scene happened as stated.

To be fair, the author also posted this as a response in his own spoiler thread, so don't lose hope...

It's literally just "most well known modern iteration of Kekkai" ([結界], buddhist term originally translated from Sanskrit [सीमाबन्ध] meaning sīmābandha, literally “boundary, edge + bounded”), commonly used in fiction to refer to a spiritual or magical force field. It goes back to at least the 70's in anime/manga, and even older in stories, obviously.
Well said! Just about every culture the world over has some kind of mythical magic barrier ritual. Japan uses stones and paper seals, sometimes lines of salt in front of doorways, other cultures use certain herbs, carved pumpkins, mirrors, eyes painted on boats, etc etc. JJK no more invented spiritual barriers than WoW invented the concept of an MMO.

Interesting that the dad disguises himself as Taya's mom without any seemingly important reasons. By the looks of chapter 116 he wasn't planning on meeting Taya in the building and was a bit surprised by her. He also quickly drops the act.
Perhaps a twisted form of remembering the deceased

...or his hobby :huh:
