Kim, that is not looking good. It looks like you may have rot at least in the back section of the branch. And since it seems to come from the center, it could spread.
Step no. 1: take a needle and prick in the section just above the middle where it looks the blackest. See what color sap comes out, if any. If the sap is white you're fine. If the sap is black or clear, do NOT prick anywhere else since you could spread the rot. Then it will be cutting time.... but let's take it one step at a time.... Thumbs up

Hi Hetti
So I just poked a needle in the ugliest spot and it came out white
Does it mean it'll be OK? My cutting are all dried out there's no moist in the clear containers. So I should leave it alone?

White is good. Maybe it had some sunburn?
If you feel they are getting too dehydrated you are allowed to mist it lightly from time to time.
