But it appears that Hector has been planning to do for Professor Wormhaut all along, and just carried her off to wherever it is that ghosts hang out when not manifesting? The explosion of roses suggests some sort of supernatural event.

Or, perhaps, Hector was smarter than he let on and it's a Sparky thing.

For a slightly creepy take, Hector has an obsession with the Professor and planned all along to take her to his swinging bachelor pad?

Anyway, I think we've seen the last of her, and I hope most of the books survive Flaming Ghost Chandelier.
I think the rose are for Lumi. Like he's mysteriously disappearing in a fashion befitting a charming rogue/supernatural apparition and he's taking the Professora with him because they're a team. She's just not agreeing to leaving at this point.
