Yukari couldn't believe the situation they'd landed themselves in. Not only were they stuck in a dungeon without the stupid guys, but now they had this weird perverted game master trying to get their clothes off. This was messed up. She could only hope someone had some good idea how to get out of this.
"I suppose now we have to choose how we're doing this," Mitsuru said, resigned. "In pairs or alone."
"Well, like the lady said, going alone would mean we'd cover the most area," Yukari offered.
"That's true, but some of us have no experience in dungeons like this," Rise piped up. "I know I'd feel better going with someone else. Not to mention having two people might give us advantages at whatever challenges we'd face, or...well...if worse comes to worse we can share clothing..."
Rise's last point brought everyone back to the reality they were facing.
"Well, we don't all have to do the same thing," Minako said. "Some of us can go alone while others pair up. There's no rule against that."
"Yes, but the small group size allotments are bothering me," Naoto chimed in. "At best, it's an obvious attempt to avoid us finding strength in numbers, making us easier prey for whatever is in there. However, I'm worried there might be a far more insidious reason."
"What do you mean?" Fuuka asked.
"Well say a person or persons go through a door and there's only one other exit and then say another person or team comes in. Only two can leave through a door, so..." Naoto offers.
"You think the mysterious guardian here would want us to compete against one another in such an instance," Margret cut in, flipping her silver hair.
"Precisely," Naoto responded.
"Hmm, yes. We didn't hear much from her, but that's something that would definitely not surprise me," Mitsuru said, looking troubled.
"Well then we wouldn't play her game!" Chie said, impassioned.
"Then we'd run into the same problem we have now. None of us want to go forward, but if we don't we simply languish here. Possibly forever. If we wanted any chance to make it through to save the group, we wouldn't have much choice..." Naoto said. The girls all paused in thought.
"All can say is that I hope you're wrong, Naoto," Minako said. "But even still we have to press forward. Anyone who wants to pick a partner should right now. Otherwise...pick a door. We can do this, guys. It may seem bad now, but we've been through bad scrapes before. We can do it!"
And with that the group began to disperse. Yukari now had her own choice to make. Go with a partner or try to strike out on her own.

1. -Minako is basically your best friend. If there's anyone you can trust to get you through this, it's her.
2. -You've had your problems with senpai in the past, but this would be a good opportunity to bury the hatchet. Plus, there's no denying she'd be a big help.
3. -You can take care of yourself. Going alone means you can cast the widest net possible to get everyone out safely as fast as you can.

(Game Tip: Having a partner means you have to worry about two girls' clothing count, but it also means you'll have help and can share clothes between one another to preserve as much modesty as possible.)
(Game Tip: In the labyrinth sometimes you'll come across challenge rooms where your girl or your team will have to go against a competing girl or team. There are two types of challenge rooms: "basic" and "all out." In basic, the challenge ends when one girl has lost three pieces of clothing or one team has lost four collectively. In all out, the game only ends when the competing girl or team is totally naked. The losing girl or team is punished. The challenges very from room to room. It might be something as basic as rock, paper, scissors, or as physical as actively trying to remove a competitor's clothes by force.)
