- She even put spiders outside when she found them in her apartment instead of squishing them, and she wolves at those things.
It's supposed to be: She even put spiders outside when she found them in her apartment instead of squishing them, and she loathed those things. - Kimi realized Mika and Nic were headed for the door, and that should occur out of her paralysis.
It's supposed to be: Kimi realized Mika and Nic were headed for the door, and that shook her out of her paralysis. - how much time had passed balls she'd been filing

The last one is my personal favorite. :-)
