SHAME! on me.

I'm sorry in advance- I totally understand if I need to never touch a succulent again.

I had a healthy, large aloe plant that I grew from a pup. 4 years with no issues. One day I realized it had an INTENSE fungus gnat infestation. I tried diluted peroxide and fly tape. After a while, no change. The gnats were getting unbearable and I freaked out and set it outside until I researched what to do. That was at the beginning of summer. I FULLY forgot that it existed. Well, today I found it and it looks like it's ... thriving? New growth?? For context I'm in southern Wisconsin.

My question is- can I save it and bring it inside? Or just appreciate that nature is doing what I couldn't? I dug around gently and the smaller leaves still seem connected to the main plant. Any advice? I promise with a little guidance I'll do much better.
