fade-outs
Slow visual endings
Fade-outs is the plural of fade-out, a gradual decrease in visibility or volume.
In film and television, a fade-out is when the image slowly darkens to black, typically marking the end of a scene or the whole work.
In audio, it's when sound gradually diminishes to silence: The song ends with one of those interminable fade-outs.
Figuratively, any gradual disappearance or decline: His fade-outs from conversations became more frequent as the dementia progressed.
