Santa felt a wash of reality wash over him as he came back to his senses and, along with his senses resurfacing, his Persona quickly vanished again. He took a good hard look at Skorpios and eventually shook his head - he'd have to make a note to kick himself later for actually falling for that one; there was no way that was Akane.

It did cross his mind to inform the others that he'd been cured; but that was probably obvious by the change in his actions; right? If not then fuck 'em they could figure it out in their own time. Meanwhile he would answer that question about his gun as if the answer was the most obvious explanation ever.

"Didn't I say I didn't want to attack that thing until it was totally ignoring us? Why the fuck would I shoot it before that happened?"
