"Somebody you knew" costs one point, not two

At two, the closing beat of a hard case broke four agents in five at the same
moment. A whole party freezing or bolting on the final scene reads as arithmetic
rather than grief, which is the opposite of what the trigger is for. Found by
playing THROUGH TRAIN end to end.

Replayed the same beat from the same party state — Holloway 3, Okonkwo 2,
Bhattacharya 4, Nkemdirim 3, Finch 2 — with the new cost: one agent breaks, the
rest carry it at 3 and 4 with the penalties that implies. That is the shape it
wanted.

"It said your name" stays at two, and is now the only two-point trigger in the
list, which is right — it should be the singular worst thing that can happen to
somebody.

The rules journal and the player primer both generate their trigger tables from
PANIC_TRIGGERS, so both already print the new number.

Version 1.4.2.
