So, uh, the Renaissance event on JP is really leaning into the gayer side of the time period...
Mahiru is playing Salai, one of Da Vinci's beloved apprentices. You can learn more about his wild, flamboyant ways here...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sala%C3%AC

"Salai was a very beautiful young man, popular with both women and with men....eh? With men, too?"

(Probably speaking to Da Vinci/Karen)
"I know all the things you like. Swirled croquettes, and....this here me, Salai."

"Salai adored Da Vinci very much, and never left his side...those feelings, I might understand them a little bit."

"Fufufu, I can't help it if I enjoy seeing your troubled face as a teacher."

"The name 'Salai' is a nickname that means 'little devil'. Because he was always doing bad things, Da Vinci gave him that name."

Vaguely thirsty Mahiru playing a vaguely thirsty and bad-mannered apprentice...I love it. 😎👌💯

More of baddest girl Mahiru 😹
"Eh? Why do I only make trouble? How terrible of you, Teacher, it's only because I love freedom."

"Salai had bad conduct, was eccentric, a violent person, and was always fighting....yeah, performing this looks difficult."

"On top of being eccentric and violent, he had a habit of stealing, and yet he was an extremely beautiful young man... Salai is just too much."

"Salai had some troubled habits, and would sometimes steal Da Vinci's things...but, why did he do that?"
