You tell her the man she loved is gone, you're something else now, and you leave. She cries your name as you walk away into the night - to save the innocent and help the helpless.

Mostly found in Sci-Fi or Superhero films. Variation of But Now I Must Go, sometimes coupled with That Man Is Dead. Type 1: The protagonist either is a newly-minted superhero or has transformed into a hideous yet benevolent creature. He must abandon his initial goals and romance to either walk the hero's path alone or find a means to counteract his current transformation (good luck with that). The hero must tell his love interest that the man she loved is gone; only the heroic persona or hideous yet benevolent creature remains. The hero must abandon his love interest because his very presence will deprive her of the normal life the love interest deserves. In the more optimistic and less creature-related examples, he must also leave because their love interest will never be safe from villains if he stays. Type 2: The hero purposefully denies or is denied acknowledgment of his actions for the greater good of society. Whatever type is invoked, it's helpful if it is followed by an emotionally resonant and important monologue. Examples of Save the Day Turn Away include:
