It happens! Kinda rare in a way so lucky you. Only ever had that happen once before.
You could kill the smaller one, or let them grow a bit more and try to separate them, or you could just let them grow and clone them both. Killing one and not disturbing the roots would be your safest option, but if you're feeling you could separate them then try. Just wait a wee bit so you aren't damaging the only bit of root they have atm
Just remember if you are going to separate them it will stunt the growth for a wee while until they bounce back and they likely will wilt so putting a cup over top for a few days after wouldnt hurt

Root competition.

Not saying it will happen here. People do sea of green from clones and they do just fine. On the other hand, clones are essentially the same plant so maybe they cooperate. But generally if you can give a plant its own root space, you should. As much as possible. Also, when leaves from one plant are over another plant they trigger light competition which triggers stretch.

Just my two cents for someone who has grown a tiny bit, just a few harvests, and has screwed up a lot.

On the other hand, I've grown a whole bunch of plants in bags of dirt to try to figure out which ones were happy packed tight, and which ones really wanted that space.

The one time I had this happen, I seperated and labeled them 1A and 1B. I thought they’d be identical twins, but they were not, and both grew a little differently. Seeds were Fem, but because they were not identical, I suppose it’s possible to have a male and female “twin” like with humans.

At this stage, they are small enough to easily separate, so it’s a neat experiment that you can try.
