What happens to a character the moment the credits start rolling?

Fun little prompt, imagine what actually happens to a character's inner world the exact instant the credits begin, right after the story technically ends. Do they just pause forever, or does something else happen. Doesn't need to make logical sense at all

Write a few lines imagining that in between moment for any character you like. Post yours below whenever something comes to mind
