'''Rhett:''' That's your misfortune. ''(turns to walk down the stairs)''

A [[Stock Phrase]] said by one character desperate for another not to leave. Often said by a very lonely character, or maybe a young character with no one else to look after them. Said by a love interest frequently as well.

If the person being addressed has to go on alone regardless for whatever reason, expect a [[Tear Jerker]] moment, especially when done coldly, such as with a [[Little No]]. This is also quite common when the person being addressed is dying, in which case this becomes [[How Dare You Die on Me!]]. Can also be [[Stay with Me Until I Die|a plea to prevent]] [[Dying Alone]]. To turn this trope into an instant [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]], just add one [[You Are Not Alone]].
