"Sometimes in the form of a blessing, and sometimes in the form of a terrible curse..." This is one example of the Miracle bringing us a blessing, Penitent One...
I think its kinda hard to make a ng+ with penitences just like the first game, because the statue System has more limits(those combos). Maybe they make the mea culpa as a penitence
They might find a few ways, tbh, I had a feeling that Mea Culpa's return was imminent, due to the fact that Mea Culpa's moveset from the original was split between the 3 new weapons.
