Cop's unusual suspicions make sense as a bear target if Cop was one of the only people the bear could kill, since Cop was one of the only people who didn't suspect them at all. This points to Enca for sure, and maybe also Boro - but Enca is more likely according to this argument.

Okay. That's a scenario.
But it's also a scenario full of if's... like any scenario we might build on the Bear at this point, I'm afraid.
First there's the "if" of the lovers being under suspicion aka. some pressure to be careful with their kills.
Now it seems you say that "exactly because them choosing
Cop shows they were under pressure", but that is indeed begging the question as to whether there could have been any other reasons for the lovers to pick
Cop?
Let's assume, for an argument's sake that
Wyth and
Greenie are the lovers - couldn't they just throw a coin and come up with
Cop? The answer is, yes they could.
Let's assume, for an argument's sake that myself and
Lommy are the lovers - couldn't we have decided that we want to keep around only people who contribute a lot of their own thoughts and not just quotes and thence picked
Cop? The answer is, yes we could.
Let's assume, for an argument's sake that you
Lottie and
Eomer are the lovers - couldn't you have decided to get rid of
Cop and her nasty suspicions and decide to make this kind of defence for it trying to sway us to look at is as it should be
Encai and/or
Boro? The answer is, yes you could.
Do you see this problem?
