Madoka takes their words in silently. Something about her facial expression does instantly twist into guilt the moment they mention that only a few people reached out. Should she have been among the people to do that? But it's not as if they ever knew who to turn to with those things.. should she just have spoken up to any old random attendant at the resort? Just imagine, someone coming up to you, claiming they and their entire group has been kidnapped by some train gone rogue..
It feels so ridiculous and unbelievable that the sheer thought of going up to a stranger and mentioning that to them gives Madoka social anxiety shyness down to her very stomach. Heck, she's just imagining it here, and it's still somehow managing to make her feel nervous with secondhand embarrassment for her potential self.
"I don't.. want to speak for everyone." Because people have a myriad of reasons! Madoka knows that her girlfriend wouldn't have wanted to speak up out of fear of her one shot at having a normal life being taken away from her. There's probably reasons out there she doesn't even know of, because she simply hasn't talked with everyone about it. But.. "This situation is.. um, it's really new to all of us, I think. And even after a long time, it can still be hard to know how to deal with.."
Madoka pauses, then shakes her head. Ugh, that does feel like she's speaking for everyone else, and that's the last thing a girl like Madoka wants to do!!
"O-Or maybe it's just like that for me, because I'm still so young.. It's overwhelming, and it's hard to know what to do.."

(And, yes.
Okay.
Madoka does suck at asking for help.)
