That’s why I said “some basis”. It’s something you need to argue in favor of, since it’s not clear-cut.
Regarding this part, we see Ulquiorra's strange expression, like he’s upset by something. And to the left there’s the panel of the two tormenting Orihime from afar, like we’re viewing it through someone’s eyes. I find it quite likely he was conflicted about letting them hurt her, but he moves on, because his duty is just to kill Ichigo; he already said before he doesn’t care about Orihime since “Aizen gave no order to kill her”, but Kubo seems to try telling us otherwise. Also, Ulquiorra would never randomly kill Aizen’s soldiers like that; he’s a composed and pragmatic person who is still very loyal to his master.
He does things like praising her uniform, even though he probably did it in anticipation of his “you’re one of us” spiel he immediately gives her afterwards. There’s also the fact that he announces his entry the second time he appears, almost definitely because she was surprised the first time he appeared, showing some minimal care.
There’s the Unmasked interaction, where he falls asleep in her room for God knows what reason, and as Ulquiorra’s dream ends and he was thinking of happiness, we have Orihime’s face in a close-up POV immediately pop up. And his own expression of shock there is also quite telling.
He listens to her cries outside her door after the slap. This an interesting addition by Kubo, since he wouldn’t really bother with such superfluous panels normally.
There’s that relationship chart with his pink line towards Orihime.
His intense poem line of “I lust for everything about you.”
The fact that he still intervenes to attack White despite accepting his death earlier; either he changed his mind just to finish off the Hollow he was powerless against, or he tried to protect Orihime from a close range Cero.
And just everything about the slew of expressions he makes in chapter 353/4 when looking at Orihime.
