Apparently he looks very good. It could have been some scarring

Lowe’s plants have seen some shit. They’re often super engorged with overwatering, to the point where it’s got to be bad for the plant.
My guess would be that your plant used to be massively overwatered when it came in for the Christmas shopping season, and it’s shrunk down to that size with extra skin wrinkles.
I’d pop it in a proper gritty mix and give it a good soaking water where the water runs through, let it drain completely, and see how it looks in a week. Depending on its response, I may repeat the watering once or twice more with 7-10 days in between, then let it be and hope it recovers. If it survives to split, it should be in much better shape.

Hi there have a little bit of experience with these guys, but I’m definitely no professional.
To me, it looks like your guys getting ready to split. In fact it looks like the mother leaves are drying up. It almost looks like there’s a crack in the top that you can kind of look through and see a new pair of leaves inside.
I would put this in the proper soil, which would be a base of about 10 to 15% organic with the rest being all inorganic gritty material.
Give it a good watering and by that I mean, stick your potted plant into another dish containing water and allow it to bottom water for about 10 minutes. It will drink through the drain hole of your pot.
If it is trying to split, and those outer leaves are dying off, it’ll plump up and break out.
