What is the falling action for story paperman by Walt Disney?

"Paperman" is a Disney animated short film, not a full-length story. It doesn't have a traditional falling action like a novel might.

Here's what happens after the climax of the story:

* The climax: The man finally builds up the courage to talk to the woman, but she's already gone.

* Resolution: The woman, who is on a train, sees the man throwing paper airplanes to her from the platform. She realizes the man is the one she was smiling at.

* The End: The short ends with the woman looking out the window, smiling at the man, and the man smiling back, realizing they have a connection.

There is no explicit falling action, but the ending itself can be considered the falling action. The climax ends with a bit of disappointment for the man, but the final scene resolves the situation by showing their connection.

The story's resolution and the ending are considered "falling action" in a broader sense, because they show the consequences of the climax and provide closure to the story.
