Before Nera left, Lynx hadn't been revealed yet, and we weren't sure which of the pair, Zubr/Nera, was the Mafia member and which was the Town member. I then suggested executing the Mafia member and checking one of them at night to determine their affiliation. Perhaps Nera wanted to avoid this check, which is why she chose me as her target. After all, the Cop not only blocks but also protects the target from death.
