Are the leaves mushy or limp. If so it’s lost but if not repot in fresh soil, cut away really damaged leaves, put it in a dark spot and give it time to recover. Really make sure it’s completely dry each time before you re water.. good luck 🤞🏽

Treat that one mildly green leaf like royalty. Exhale on it every so often (to give it extra co2). Talk to the plant and/or play music for it (use something with a strong beat; plants seem to like the vibrations.) Very gently touch/tap/pet the plant occasionally (when you get new growth, it'll be extremely delicate, so don't touch that.) Aloe gel is decent for healing human burns, so you might try it to soothe the sunburns. Remember that it can't photosynthesize, so it won't use much water

You Can try to propagate the slightly green leaf in water
