[ Toki does his best to warn her, but it's for the entirely wrong reasons and it's already too late anyways, Ala already up outside of the desk and holding her breath when Toki warns her. She pulls the ribbon out of her uniform and ties it around her nose and mouth just in case, too, then quickly snatches up the box and opens the hood and-- decidedly doesn't just toss it inside and scram, because she would knock everything over that way and that would be a disaster!
Instead, she quickly makes sure the bunsen burner is turned up as high as it'll go, that the mask is next to it and then she sets the cardboard box over the entire thing so that it's covered. The fire will provide light so the mask won't draw strength from the darkness, and soon the box will catch fire and help burn the mask. Foolproof.
When she turns to leave, the sash hasn't been closed all the way, leaving a two to three inch gap when she runs away and ducks underneath the table with Toki. The alarm quiets down, while the box catches on fire. ]
