>as Feels continues to run up the score on Reals until there's a Scooby-Doo moment and the mask comes off and the Feels were Capital All Along
That implies Capital can actively 'create' a mask to hide itself. I think a more appropriate analogy would be Capital as a parasite that controls its host (of course, some kind of beings are more prone to be infected than others) to behave in a way that allows it to use this temporary body to reproduce and lay its eggs for the next victim to catch it (bonus points if the host itself is completely unaware of this and thinks it's choosing by the freedom of its own will what to do, and will defend this pattern of action to the last consequences) leaving just a corpse behind, and so on.

On a side note, I think the central force of Capital as a parasite is advertisement, this tool is what makes the host be unaware of what it is doing, like a psychological sniper directed to the unconscious.
