He takes the clothes, shifts his weight before nodding over to the bathroom to change out of sight. ...doesn't close the door. Starts to, but then what if he does, and then he opens it, and he's somewhere else? Or if Tadashi just vanishes back home while he's not looking, and then Wally is alone in Tadashi's half-completed apartment, with his half-completed life, and all Tadashi's clothes and photos like it's some kind of memorial?
When Wally emerges, his folded uniform, gloves and goggles wrapped up in a bundle under his arm, he pauses.] You, uh...you didn't know, right? [Lifts the bundle a bit.] It's not a big deal, not anymore, but...you can ask, if you want. [It was a big deal, once upon a time. Hell, just a few hours ago, it had felt like a big deal again.]
