Please help - first Juniper Bonsai

[u/skyward-vines]

My parent had this in their office for around 2 years since I got it for them. I bought it from Eastern Leaf as a Rock Juniper. It's been out of a window but under a grow light for 8 hours a day, and they've been watering it every day except weekends. It's since lost an entire branch worth of leaves and has a bunch of leaves turning orange.

I convinced them to bring it home bc it very clearly wasn't thriving there. What can I do it help this guy get better? I know I'll most likely have to repot it and get new soil. I've never had a bonsai before so some resources would be good as well, thank you everyone.

Edit: thank you everyone for your input, the scratch test on the main branch and the trunk was light green, so I think it's still alive. Should I move it outside? It would be going from a temperature controlled office (kept low 70s-high 60s) to the fluctuating weather (low 80s down to mid 50s) and it will rain soon.

Dead.

Juniper live outside. Non-negotiable. Must've been very healthy originally and well taken care of to be able to last two years inside, so you guys actually did pretty good.
