Obviously, this is one that Doug would hope to Gate him back to Maggie, or perhaps be another sim song for her, but if not that (and I don't know if there's a rule of one simulacrum song per subject, but I'd kind of expect so since one use per day for a given effect is part of his core concept) someone associated with dawn or the immediate future seems appropriate, and AMS SKuld is the only character I can think of for that who would have a connection to Doug and might not be immediately disastrous since the sisters like him. Whistling up (most interpretations of) Lucifer for example would tend to be ... less than ideal. Maybe someone Doug got attached to and invested in helping despite having to slog through major difficulty during his journey?
Or, I suppose, it could be a version of We Didn't Start The Fire specific to his personal history, to help keep his goal clear in his mind. Mental exercises or not, after decades away some of the fine details would have to be wearing down like the grooves on a favourite LP. Widen the focus slightly to a general memory-enhancer like a personal Pensieve and it could be quite useful - I think I'll stick that into the thread title, actually. It also gives you a new way to do the inevitable "I've been on a long trip across worlds, here's the highlights" scene, and/or for exploring them himself when he finally unlocks the memories of his time with the Sailor Senshi. Also a great after-action review tool, of course.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
You're sleeping quite
Laying here right next to me
You're dreaming something
I've never thought of
Touching softly my skin
[Verse 2]
You`re here
It` s a crime
To let these seconds disappear
When you're here
Far and near
[Pre-Chorus]
Every word, just a piece of my imagination
Every sound, a little fruit of my inspiration
Every single thought, just an impact of that pain
But every piece of you is a reason for the next day
[Chorus]
Reason for the next day
Reason for the next day
Reason for the next day
Reason!
[Verse 3]
If I close my eyes with no lonely light or sound
Your voice in the distance
Appears and twinkles like a star
And it helps me see
[Verse 4]
You here
It`s a crime
To let these seconds disappear
Cause you're here
Far and near
[Pre-Chorus]
Every word, just a piece of my imagination
Every sound, a little fruit of my inspiration
Every single thought, just an impact of that pain
But every piece of you is a reason for the next day
[Chorus]
Reason for the next day
Reason for the next day
Reason for the next day
Reason!
[Bridge]
Everything you said to me
Lingers in my thoughts
Every morning, every night
I try to stay awake
Losing pieces of my mind
And I hope I'll be alright
[Hook]
You're here
Now, please disappear!
Or be with me!
[Outro]
You are my reason for the next day
You are my reason for the next day
You are my reason for the next day
You're my REASON !!!
Personally I think Out of My Life is better, but I'm even less inspired as to a power it might induce, as a typical "I love so much it's crazy" type song. Major eargasm, though.
