They continued to wave as the helicopter disappeared, too far away to be seen.
Hawkeye and Trapper began to leave, the subject abruptly changed to the latest patient, as Radar gave one final wave and turned to follow. Mid-step, he jolted, causing Hawkeye to stop.
"I can't hear him." Radar whispered.
"Hear him?" Trapper hesitated.
"I can't hear him! His thoughts. I can't hear them. He's too far away."
Hawkeye nodded, reaching a hand out to guide him along. "He's going home now. He doesn't need you to hear him anymore."
Radar sighed, letting himself be led away, whispering, "Home."
