There's probably a worm in there. I've had them before on outdoor plants. I braced the stem with bamboo and split it open with a scalpel, removing the worm. Sometimes works, sometimes don't but it's worth a try.

Just make sure you support the stem very well. It will heal up nicely if you can get that sucker out!

Surprisingly showing no signs of stress after cutting her completely open lol, I didn’t find anything I’ll let her heal up a bit and if the broths continue I’ll chop that branch off
