Yukari taking so long to actually speak up about anything other than apologies and unneeded observations about the "others" commenting on Shouko's withdrawal had me worried.
But she picked herself up at the tail end and made the move, so it's a relief to know that she's still committing to being at Shouko's side. I suspect we'll be going a ways before Yukari's own predilections will be brought to light, especially as I presume she'll consider it "uncouth" to appear like she's making a move on a recently-heartbroken girl. That said, I think they do need to find their footing as friends first. They have something unique between them - that shared secret of Shouko's for one, as well as a built-in secret base in the form of the gardening committee which will allow for more time between just them, and a potential refuge for Shouko to seek a moment of peace away from her cousin and the other two, when she needs it.
The trick will be converted the gardening club safe space, into the Yukari safe space, of course, but that'll come with time. Shouko already knows she has Yukari as a confidante, so she's already inclined to seek her committee member out with the secret between them as well.
Yukari's just gotta convince Shouko that while she's maybe terrified, it's not for the reasons Shouko suspects. And then start building herself up a bit more, so that she can feel comfortable enough to confess their similarities.
Really digging the subtle expression work in this chapter, though. Given it's mostly dialogue carrying the story, a good chunk of the impact relies on the character design and portrayal. And Ono Rin is very good at that, I must say.
Thanks for the TL, as always.
