Lover in Werewolf: Abilities and How to Win
The Lovers are a pair who know each other from the start. When one goes home for any reason, the other follows them home. If both are still here when the Villagers or the Werewolves would win, the Lovers win instead (a surviving Fox comes first). One pair uses two seats.
