Weird!! Sorry, thats not helpful 🙈🙈 hopefully someone will know what that is. I'm curious to find out what in the world!!

It looks like maybe the leaves got damaged while curling out.

If it too dry or something physically fracture them, they can unfold like this

It was fine until today ;( it uncurled perfectly as well

I've had some monstera cuttings react like that in transport because of being scratched or crumpled. The dark lines on your plant don't follow the grain of the leaf so that would be my guess. Do you have kids or pets?

I’ve got a cat but he hasn’t been anywhere near the plant :( I think i may have burnt the leaf by accident, that’s the only reason I can think of
