What happens if damage before the haunt would push a trait down to the skull?
The rulebook states the lowest-value rule; the split of excess damage rests on community reading of 'a total number'.

Nobody dies before the haunt. The trait stops at its lowest value above the skull. Damage must still be taken as a total number of spaces across the two traits, so extra damage is usually moved to the other trait where it can, though the rulebook isn't explicit. A trait already at its lowest stays there, so an earlier Mask sanity loss doesn't apply later.
