I know how we (the shippers) all have our own favorite gojohime moment, but I personally believe the ultimate telltale sign of Gojo's opinion (feelings, thoughts, etc.) towards Utahime has been set in stone in Gojo's past arc.
His scene with Utahime and the scenes that come after with regards to their scene doesn't require bending over backwards to interpret it.
- "I'm here to save you, Utahime. You cryin'?"
- Gojo volunteered to cast the veil.
- Gojo left the auxiliary manager (and his classmates) behind.
- Gojo did not cast the veil. [Neither the two did...bc they assumed he would do it. Being already in their 2nd year, it should be routine. Yet Gojo forgot to do it.]
- Gojo wondered if the veil was actually necessary.
- Gojo said saving the weak was exhausting.
- Gojo used limitless to save Utahime (flashback). He also commented on how he has good eyes.
-- Gojo said the technique was a pain to do (esp. considering the vectors).
-- Gojo said the technique was exhausting. [He wasn't trying to complain beforehand, he was simply stating that the technique, in fact, exhausted him. Literally. Yet he still did it...for a mission that wasn't his.]
(Now, a lot of implications could be derived from here. But I guess I'll save it for next time.)
Bonus: Gojo started omitting steps (palm seals, etc.) post-Toji incident to perfect his technique. In the current arc in the manga, Gojo does not omit a single step, just like Utahime. Gojo also uses HP for the first time here, which he later uses again at 200% with Utahime.

As much as I love their other scenes, S2 EP1 alone (and maybe EP2), in my opinion, already established what Utahime is to Gojo.
It doesn't necessarily mean anything romantic, but it certainly isn't apathy either.
