The downcast ending could also be related to historical or cultural factors. Maybe the story is set during a difficult time in Paris's history, such as during a war or a social upheaval. Characters could be affected by the destruction, loss of family, or displacement, which would create a downcast ending.
One possible reason could be the loss of love. Paris is often associated with romance, so if a relationship fails in a story set there, it can lead to a downcast ending. For example, a couple who meets in Paris and falls in love but then faces insurmountable differences and breaks up.
It might be due to the harsh reality of city life. Paris, despite its beauty, has its own problems like poverty, overcrowding in some areas. A character in the story might be an artist who goes to Paris full of dreams but gets crushed by the competitiveness and high cost of living, leading to a downcast ending.
