The events that follow the climax and lead to the resolution are called:

Understanding plot structure and the sequence of events after the climax. After the climax—the moment of greatest tension—the story shifts toward wrapping things up. The falling action covers the events where remaining questions are answered, loose ends are tied, and tensions begin to ease, all leading into the final ending. This is why falling action is the best fit: it specifically describes the stretch that moves from the high point toward the resolution. Rising action builds toward the climax, the climax itself is the turning point of the story, and the resolution comes at the end when the conflicts are finally solved. An example would be after the hero defeats the antagonist, the community starts to recover and rebuild, setting up the final closure.
