Lol, hey man. I did Fragments and Rakujitsu no Pathos too. It's not all wholesome. And I'm about 10 pages from chapter 3 of Sono Oshi.

Last page kids don't even know the way around their own school? How large and complex must these school complexes be?
(I mean, not knowing where a particular classroom is I could savvy, but knowing where it is but being unaware of the nearest route to it, that doesn't feel right)

Generally speaking, kids in Japanese high school stay in their class for the most of the day (except for certain classes like labs) and teachers go to them. That's why even in a grade level, the kids in the same class (home room class) form much tighter bonds. And the kids tend to hang around in their class with their home room classmates much more, rather than roam around the school and into other "territories." This stratification is even more pronounced between grade levels, like 1st graders generally won't go to where 2nd grader classes are, and will almost always stay away from 3rd grader classrooms. Even if they visit, they'll most likely stay at the door to the class without entering and ask for their friend to come out. Also, since the classes in a grade level are all bunched up, the usual way to a lab like in this case isn't necessarily the shortest one, IF it cuts through other grade level's floor or classrooms. They might have to go to a common level to walk across and then up to the lab, etc.
It's not strictly followed or enforced, and a group of rowdy kids, especially boys, could decide to cut through other grade level's floor to get to the lab before the bell rings. And that's what's shown here.

Ok, so it's a matter of "this ain't the normal way" combined with just a bit of anxiety (and some people do get lost more easily, so even if the floor below probably has the same general layout they'll feel uncertain since it doesn't have the exact same signs and posters which they usually use to navigate).
Thanks for the explanation. I didn't consider that "scary part of school" clause. :)

I don't think they're going to get lost. The schools are usually designed very simply and plainly, just straight multi-story buildings with each grade occupying a floor, like 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 all being in a row, so it's not likely anyone would get lost per se. It's just a bit of a taboo to cut through other grade's floor just for a shortcut where they might get stopped by annoyed senpai.
