The 'No! No, Stay With Me!' meme originates from a poignant scene in the 2015 video game Batman: Arkham Knight, where Bruce Wayne experiences a fear-toxin-induced hallucination of his parents. As the image of Thomas and Martha Wayne begins to dissolve, a desperate Batman reaches out, pleading for them to remain. The template became a viral sensation as a way to express the tragic loss of something beloved but fleeting, such as a long weekend, a disappearing limited-time offer, or a childhood memory. It perfectly captures that universal feeling of desperation when something good is coming to an end.
