Through My Window: Across the Sea ending explained in detail:
Does Ares cheat on Raquel?
Having had enough, Raquel initiates a game of spin the bottle and asks Ares and Vera about the shirt situation. The latter keeps quiet and Ares tries to talk to her in private.
He explains that he was having a hard time coping with everything in Stockholm, and Vera helped him with it. He met many friends through her and had a night when he got drunk.
The next thing he remembered was waking up next to Vera with her wearing his shirt. He swears he doesn’t remember anything and apologizes for messing up. Unfortunately, Raquel is livid and leaves.
Does Artemis accept Claudia?

Unfortunately, he loses motivation once the parents arrive. He later sees Claudia around another man and treats her rudely. When she misbehaves in front of his mother, Artemis fires her.
At the party, he realizes that the man he thought Claudia was seeing is married to her friend. He goes to apologize to her, but she kicks him out.
