Also no other leaves have this so I don’t think it is any kind of bug or disease but I’m not sure 🥲

I don’t think it’s anything to be worried about. Just some mechanical damage.  
Sometimes the leaves can get damaged while they’re developing and ends up looking like that.

Wow something went amiss — a little mutant leaf. Usually this happens when there’s been a stressor during development (most commonly having to do with watering) in the long run this isn’t a big deal and won’t affect your plant. If every new leaf is mutated in some way you want to consider your conditions

Okay I did get two at the same time the other was completely fine

Could certainly have happened before you brought it home!

Whoa, super cool! I’ve also seen pics online of Monsteras having “twin” leaves that looked like 2 leaves combined. So interesting
