This would be about Weiss realizing just how terrible the dark side of the SDC is, and while Weiss is processing (and subconciously) touching her scar, someone could ask, how he died, and I'm curious how everyone reacts that Blake and Yang killed him, even if it was in self-defense. Whatever the response and interaction, it will be informative. If you're suggesting just mentioning the scar and not explaining then I guess that wouldn't be exposition, but it would also be kind of pointless. Only way we can really know how it happened now is just Blake explaining it. Blake wouldn't be so deeply affected by it, partly because of everything Adam did, and Weiss would be less impacted by being told what happened. There is no viable substitute for a direct confrontation between the person to whom it happened and a person who would feel some kind of responsibility. Even without meeting Weiss, Adam should recognize her and yet he makes no mention of Blake cavorting around with a Schnee during any of their fights. You would think that would be the deepest betrayal for him, more than her leaving, more than her relationship with some random blonde chick he doesn't know, and even more than her directly blocking his efforts. Somehow, he never got around to bringing it up.
