Following the destruction of Panoptes, the Guardian would make use of the [[The Infinite Forge|Infinite Forge]] in the Lighthouse to construct several weapons linked to the '''Lost Prophecies'''. After completing them all, they would receive a final [[Prophecy Tablet]] and detect a signal coming from the [[Infinite Forest]] which they discover to be linked to [[Saint-14]]. Upon reporting this to Vance to see if he knows anything, he is ecstatic, imagining Saint joining them at the Lighthouse and battling the Vex alongside the Guardian and Osiris. He tells the Guardian to find Saint-14, almost telling them to succeed where Osiris failed before quickly cutting himself off.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] - [[Signal Light]]''</ref>

As the Guardian enters the Infinite Forest again, Vance again implores him to find Saint, calling him a primary source of Osiris' early years that he wished to use to settle "differences of opinion in which one side is wrong." However, the Guardian returned with only a relic from Saint's grave which Vance helped craft into the [[Perfect Paradox]] and give to the Guardian, telling them that it was not the Followers' duty to keep relics like Saint's weapon.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] - [[Not Even the Darkness]]''</ref>

Two years after Osiris had returned from the Infinite Forest, Vance finally had the chance to speak to him. He envisioned Osiris praising him for unraveling the mystery of the Spire's tones. Instead, Osiris was furious, seeing what Vance had done as going too far. Vance tried to quell his anger, but Osiris simply told him that what he discovered presented a threat to every man, woman and child in existence and, like Mara Sov, told Vance he was meddling with forces he couldn't understand and told him to abandon his research as he would have someone else assume his duties. As Osiris turned to leave, Vance informed him of Mara's message to plant the seed, but while he didn't know what it meant, she knew he would. Osiris thanked Vance before departing, and the follower repeated Osiris' thanks to himself with a slight smile.<ref name="Idolatry"/>

Upon the arrival of the [[Pyramids]] to [[Mercury]], Vance was visited by the Young Wolf once more, who provided him with a briefing from Commander [[Zavala]] of all that was happening throughout the solar system. Consulting his texts to determine which potential prophesized end-time scenario they were currently experiencing, Vance noted that Osiris had used an excessive amount of [[Fractaline]] to power the [[Obelisk]]s during the [[The Sundial|Sundial]] crisis. From the Lighthouse, Vance could feel how reality had been damaged by those actions and that countless timelines were pulling against a chronological center, with the arrival of the Pyramids placing additional pressure on them that could cause them to collapse. He believed the Infinite Forest was key to solving this issue and requested the Young Wolf provide help in determining what could be done.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Exodus: Preperation]]: [[Exodus: Preperation#Step 8|Step 8]]''</ref> When the Young Wolf returned from gathering data, Vance was absorbed in studying his scrolls and commented that the connections between Osiris, the Forest, and the Pyramid went beyond just prophecy, but abruptly cut himself off as he heard the Lighthouse chime a dirge for a Guardian falling in the Trials of Osiris. He noted the tones had gotten richer in the shadow of the Pyramid and asked if the Young Wolf could hear it. He smiled as he heard the chime once more and described it as the song of life and death, causing the Young Wolf to depart to attend their other duties and leave Vance to his studies.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Exodus: Preperation]]: [[Exodus: Preperation#Step 10|Step 10]]''</ref>

Months later, Zavala would order everyone on the planets and moons where the Pyramids had touched down, Mercury included, to be evacuated. For Vance, Zavala had the Guardian tell Vance to lock down the Infinite Forest and then report to the Tower.<ref name="Step12"/> However, Vance chose not to return to the City. He recalled his meeting with Osiris where he told him to write music rather than continue studying the Lighhouse's hum, and told the Guardian that he intended to go into the Infinite Forest to spread his song of [[Hope for the Future|hope for the future]].<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Exodus: Evacuation]]: [[Exodus: Evacuation#Step 16|Step 16]]''</ref>
Once the Guardian departed the Lighthouse for the last time, Vance collected his belongings and entered through the gateway to the Infinite Forest. While he was initially afflicted by the dizzying nature of the place, he attuned his Infinite Simulacrum to the crack in the Forest and sealed himself within. Many iterations of Vance from different realities coalesced inside the Forest with him, spreading his message of hope and joy into every reality. The original Vance began to sing [[Hope for the Future]] before another iteration of himself finished his sentence. Vance turned to analyze his other self and he found his hands reaching towards his throat; his alternate self twisted beneath his hands, turning cold and rigid. He was thrown onto his back by the parallel version of himself, but Vance reached underneath his blindfold and began to gouge his eyes. Vance noted that his other self still had eyes and found it to be 'unfortunate'.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Lore:Duress and Egress|Duress and Egress]]: [[Lore:Duress_and_Egress#Vance:_Passeri|Vance: Passeri]]''</ref>
