Tomorrow is a mysterious girl found by Sam during his second expedition.
Story[]
Nothing is known about her origin, except that the chrysalis she was locked in was found by Sam in a "hellish place". Upon aboard the DHV Magellan, Tarman and Fragile prepare to analyze it, using an autopsy saw, the man cuts the chrysalis, and with Fragile they open it, discovering not only that it is filled with a tar-like liquid but also the girl inside.
Some time later, the girl, now recovered, eavesdrops on the crew's conversation, discovering that the tar-like liquid with which the chrysalis was filled contains amino acids, similar to that of the tar from which BTs come out. At some point, while they arrange some crates, she begins discussing about babies being born with Rainy, and begins singing Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid's Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head, when Sam and Dollman joins in. Sam, being a good sport, removes the puppet from his waist and starts to shake him along to the rhythm. After that, the two girls resume tidying up the warehouse.

In Episode 13 of Death Stranding 2, it's revealed that Tomorrow's genes are exactly like Sam's. The team presumes that she was created with Sam's frozen sperm and could be his other biological daughter. Episode 15 reveals that Tomorrow is also an Extinction Entity and that Higgs is trying to use her to tear an opening into Amelie's Beach and trigger the Last Stranding to destroy the universe.
After Higgs is defeated and the Last Stranding seems to begin, Tomorrow instead uses her power to reseal the Beach and transform into a massive version of her original form: The still-living Lou. Having realized that despite her new nature, Lou would never side with him. Higgs resigned himself and sang her lullaby one last time. With her newfound might, Lou/Tomorrow finished off Higgs by eating him alive and stomping what remained of his Ka with her foot, destroying him once and for all. Reunited with her father, with Amelie's help, father and daughter defused the Last Stranding and returned to the APAS 4000's Beach.
Back there, Tomorrow returned to her adult form and was left unconscious on its shores. After Sam brought her back to the Magellan, he learned from Die-Hardman the reason Lou became Tomorrow: When Higgs mortally injured Fragile, her Ha ended up dying inside the Beach, which left Lou stranded in there as well. To protect her, Fragile's Ka left her under the care of Neil, who in life was a friend and lover of Lou's mother, Lucy. This confirmed that Tomorrow wasn't just Lou, but also Sam's once-believed-dead daughter with Lucy, Louise. In the months she was stuck in Neil's Beach, Lou formed a chrysalis around herself that accelerated her growth and aging, which turned her into an adult.
After the Magellan returned to Australia, Lou hugged Sam and revealed that she'd regained her memories, and thus could now remember who he really was, as well as their past adventure together. She asserted to her father that they would always be connected, and that she was his Louise.
In the epilogue, Lou is revealed to have joined Drawbridge as a Porter alongside her father. In her journeys, she has discovered a new Plate Gate and prepares to cross it.
Traits[]
Personality[]
Physical Description[]
Tomorrow is a young girl with long blond hair and light eyes. She is between 16 and 20 years old. When Sam finds her in a "hellish place", she is inside a tar-filled chrysalis and is dressed in a light, white, elegant dress, which leaves her shoulders and legs exposed, a high collar, and ribbons and bands on her forearms. As a member of Drawbridge, Tomorrow begins wearing a dark tank top, white shorts, and sneakers. She also dons the orange Drawbridge vest when needed.
She usually leaves her hair loose but when she needs to get into action she gathers it up and takes off her shoes.
Abilities[]
Tomorrow is likely suffering from DOOMS, of an unspecified level, which allows her to use tar to both move and attack, that appears to be released from small circular orifices on her forearm and, probably, the sole of her feet. When she uses her abilities, a golden substance, probably chiralium, drips from her eyes, which disappears when the danger is over.
When she uses it to move, Tomorrow summons a pool of tar from her bare feet, which she then uses to move underground by diving. As she moves, splashes of tar appear on the ground, following the girl's path until she decides to resurface and attack. She can also decide to use the tar to slide on the ground without submerging herself. When she uses the tar to attack, touching enemies with her hands, it seems to deteriorate the attacked area, which is then weaker to subsequent hits.
Tomorrow demonstrates unparalleled agility with jumps, pirouettes and spins and this agility proves useful both in dodging enemy attacks and in wrapping them up and dragging them under the tar puddle she creates. With her powers, she's able to fight Higgs' robotic body on nearly-equal terms.
Due to her true identity, Tomorrow is a repatriate like Sam, and death is temporary for her.
Notes[]
- Given that in the trailer her body is seen levitating, with invisible stands attached to her body, on the laboratory table, it is possible that she possesses DOOMS.
- She comes from a place where babies are not born, but remain in the mother's womb. Whether she is referring to the chrysalis in which she was found or something else is not yet known.
- Given her true identity, Tomorrow might've referred to the Beach, a place where the Ka of babies who died in their mother's wombs go. A similar circumstance happened to Lockne's child when it died inside Mama.
- Tomorrow is a Taurus, or its equivalent in the post-Death Stranding world.
- Had she been born at the intended date, Lou/Tomorrow would've been a Cancer, which is a sign often born by DOOMS sufferers.
- During the TGS 2024 PlayStation Presents “DEATH STRANDING 2” Special Stage!, Tomorrow is seen, alongside Fragile and Rainy, doing all kinds of poses, and throwing some stuffed Cryptobiotes, in front of a camera for an in-game photo shoot event.
