... The way Adam revealed his face, and the line he delivered ("People hurt me in all sorts of ways...") implies that the branding was on purpose. You outright said it was impossible it was an accident, I'm not saying it was one, but it is entirely possible in substandard safety conditions, there is no-one here saying it absolutely had to be an accident, only that the possibility exists, regardless, Adam wouldn't see it that way, Merry wrote him as "spite" incarnate remember?

Spite has meaning, it's taking unreasonable levels of revenge for perceived sleights, the relevance of the sleight is irrelevant.
