The 'special bond' thing is just filler for the fact that the Cupid's win conditions are hinged on how many of them survive.

As for the Town vs Mafia thing, I don't mean the whole factions suddenly get along- that's way too op. What I mean is that only the lovers can win with the faction that their lover has: if the Jailor and Godfather are paired, the Jailor can win with the Mafia but the Doctor can't (or any other town member), and the same applies for the other way around.

Also I made the limit n3 b/c having it for a long time causes gamethrowing- important roles have to come out eventually, and pairing the Jailor and Godfather, for example, might cause the Jailor to willfully execute a known town member so he and the mafia can gain advantage. Other examples include the Mayor, who can very effectively have Mafia take the voting majority, or a Retributionist who refuses to revive an important role, or even an Escort who keeps roleblocking the Jailor or Retri. However, scumreading players can make an educated guess on who is good and who is evil, giving the matchmaking about the same effect but less worries on gamethrowing potential and the power of each faction.

I'll change the faction to Neutral Benign. Let me know what you think of the changes/clarifications.
