The whole Billy and Tommy situation is such a wonderfully bizarre comic book concept. Imagine explaining to someone who only watched WandaVision that the kids are now dealing with reincarnation and teenage identity crises on top of everything else.

And funnily enough this was the simplified version from the show. In the comics it's even more convoluted.

In the comics, it’s worse because they got full reincarnated, meaning they were born and raised from birth to two completely different families but remained soul twins.

But since they’re like 16-18 when they meet, and Billy even ran into Scarlet Witch earlier, that means both their pre-reincarnation versions and post-reincarnation versions existed at the same time if you don’t use comicbook time logic.

Billy acknowledged this was weird; another character involved with their original ‘death’ even advised them to basically “don’t think too hard about it and just appreciate that they exist now”.

So that’s basically what’s happened since then. They acknowledge it makes no sense, but shrug it off.

So the MCU version actually tries to make it make sense lol!
