Thanks to everyone who mentioned the brown center was likely rot. To follow up, I’ve placed it in brighter light and will be monitoring how wet the center stays after soaking, trying to get it dryer faster. But my new question is, should I remove the brown center leaves? They do NOT pull out easily as one might think if it was rot.

If it’s rotted, it is dead. Live plants don’t rot. There is nothing anyone could do to make it alive. More light won’t work. You can toss into a compost pile.
I agree with the other poster, it looks dead and dead is not recoverable. However – the outer leaves are still alive so it might make some pups.
