For a second Yuki thought he was somehow in the forest and that was not ok.
After a split second of panic, he realized that he was looking at hedges and not trees. The fact that he was standing up instead of lying down, despite feeling like he'd literally just awakened from a deep sleep, was second worry in comparison. The ghost let out the deep breath he'd pulled in, some semblance of relief washing over him.
The voice close beside him, however, made him jolt.
With the Professor's explanation, Yuki realized that this wasn't a dream - nor, thankfully, a nightmare - and that he was indeed supposed to be here. The instructions seemed simple enough, though enough common sense told him that the maze would pose a challenge to navigate if absolutely nothing else. Things were never easy, after all.
"See you on the other side, then. I'll try not to make you wait too long." Yuki honestly wasn't sure just how long the Professor expected to wait, but he didn't dare to ask. He probably didn't want to know how long this task was going to take...
Yuki watched the man shift into his natural form and run off into the hedges, leaving him there to inwardly wonder why he couldn't have done this when it was considerably lighter outside.
No sense in turning back now that he was here, Yuki supposed.

It was probably naive of the ghost to think that it would really be so bland as walking through a maze in the middle of the night. No, things always had to be spiced up, and in this case it was by way of the world flipping upside-down. The ghost was appropriately disoriented and startled. He immediately halted, half-cringing, expecting some bizarre effect on gravity to take him headfirst into the sky above... Below? However the hell it worked.
A very careful, slow step forward told him that he was still going to be just fine, and he continued on. It was going to be super awkward if the entire event went on like this.

Thankful, when the world returned to its proper right-side-up state, Yuki let his eyes settle from the change. He wasn't sure what was worse; what he'd just experienced or the trouble he was having just putting one foot in front of the other once he started walking again.
It was annoying. Yuki could only assume that he was destined to be exhausted by the end of this. Worse yet was running into wrong turns and the resulting dead ends, making him backtrack at the slow, tiring pace.

Okay, spinning was worse.
It slowed him down even more, and made him feel terribly unbalanced and soon even nauseous. Barely taking baby steps forward, he tried to judge which way was actually the direction he was trying to go. It was a task in itself, attempting to see what parts of the path - or walls - seemed to be getting closer when everything was refusing to stay still to begin with.

Yuki actually had to sit down for a few minutes, close his eyes, and breathe to keep himself from throwing up.

The rest of the maze a considerably less miserable, as far as Yuki was concerned. Once everything was still again and he could actually move normally, the ghost continued on with haste. He wanted out, even if that meant finding the entrance again and insisting that he take the failure. Even the fact that things were suddenly huge around him didn't slow him down. If anything, it spooked him into going faster, to the point that he was sprinting down the corridors between hedges. He was, however, silently thankful when his surroundings continued to a more normal looking state once again.
The cold had never bothered him, and the temperature of the wind he suddenly had to brace himself against was no exception. Not being chilled was one thing, while remaining on his feet was another. It was a battle in itself to push ahead, but at last the brutal wind subsided and he actually saw what looked to be a break in the hedges.
Was it the exit? Yuki really, really hoped so.

So close. He was so damn close, and he knew it.
It figured that something would try to stop him now.
He stepped back instinctively, staring up at the shadow that was suddenly looming in front of him. "Seriously?" Yuki breathed out, in almost a whine.
When the shadow mirrored his image - with the addition of spooky, weird tendrils - the ghost actually groaned audibly at the familiarity of it all. Hadn't he done this recently enough?
With the the shadow in the way of the only visible exit route, Yuki had no choice but to exchange blows. Maybe this was some sort of stupid metaphor; fighting oneself. He wasn't going to bother asking once this was over.

If he could deal damage with solely his failure to back him up, this would be over.
