But Now I Must Go: Difference between revisions

* This is a recurring theme in the light novel series, and the anime adaptation, of ''[[Kino's Journey]]'' in which the main character, as a drifter, has a self-imposed limit of staying three days upon reaching a town or rest stop and can give no exceptions regardless of the situation. This is in order not to form attachments to prevent the ideal of traveling. A little different in that the plot follows Kino to each next place. {{spoiler|This is explored deeper when the the main character, eventually revealed to be female, discovers a place she can finally grow used to loving while becoming acquainted with someone sharing many common and reminiscent traits with her. Coping on her decision on whether or not wishing to finally settle down, the conclusion is the final episode of the anime adaption, whilst the light novels simply continue, and still are, after that point.}}

* Remus Lupin's resignation in ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban|Harry Potter]]''.

* [[Robert E. Howard]] did a superb But Now I Must Go ending for the ''[[Solomon Kane]]'' story "The Blue Flame of Vengeance":

{{quote|''"I am a landless man." A strange, intangible, almost mystic look flashed into his cold eyes. "I come out of the sunset and into the sunrise I go, wherever the Lord doth guide my feet. I seek...my soul's salvation, mayhap. I came, following the trail of vengeance. Now I must leave you. The dawn is not far away, and I would not have it find me idle. It may be I shall see you no more. My work here is done; the long red trail is ended. The man of blood is dead. But there be other men of blood, and other trails of revenge and retribution. [[Mission from God|I work the will of God]]. [[With Great Power|While evil flourishes and wrongs grow rank, while men are persecuted and women wronged, while weak things, human or animal, are maltreated, there is no rest for me beneath the skies, nor peace at any board or bed]]. Farewell!"''}}
