Personally, I have a strong dislike for multiple first person POV. With that said, I'd say your option of following through with one character's POV is best.

It's not uncommon to have the same scene told first by one character and then by the other. You need to work hard, however, to not make this repetitive or confusing. The 7Â½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is based around a conceit where the narrator literally inhabits the first person POV of several different characters throughout the novel. The author does a great job of presenting the same scene and the same characters through different eyes in ways that make it continually fresh and new (and not just a rehash).
