When Chōchō assumed he was stalking her, Magire quickly denied it while unintentionally revealing it was Sumire he liked. Chōchō told him to be forward with his feelings, to which Magire meekly did. Despite his efforts of asking her out, Sumire turned him down, leaving him distraught and running away in shame. Later, a shadow spectre was drawn to Magire's sadness and possessed him.

The following day, Magire's affection towards Sumire turned dark, leaving notes to her everywhere. Eventually, Magire was able to draw her away from her friends and kidnapped her. When her friends found them, Magire quickly attacked them with his concealment skills. Eventually, Chōchō was able to reach Magire, noting that such an indecisive nature will never win anyone over.
