I feel like I'm seeing the same discussion every other week, but guess it can't be helped with this format. =P

Anyways, I personally wouldn't call Haise's life right now "fake" so much as incomplete. He is genuinely happy in his relationship (which is demonstrated to be real for the most part) with his new friends and anyone who isn't prejudiced against him. However, there is definitely a sense of something missing for him (i.e. his lost memories and relations) so the happiness he feels now doesn't quite permeate his entire life. At the same time, he has a fairly skewed idea of the sort of person he used to be and is afraid of regaining what he lost as a result.

When his memories come back, they likely won't really change much of who he is now (by which I mean the more superficial aspects of personality; the core has stayed consistent across all three personality changes). And considering the advantage of his position in the CCG for gradually changing attitudes, he won't leave either unless his hand is forced or he's driven out.
