 Dona Dona's home

 it. Look in the shack and see who is in there. Talk to him, say 
 something like "What are you doing?". He will say "This is my home."

 Quick game completion
 
 Use the following steps to complete the game in about one hour. 
 At the start of the game, you normally fight the man. After the 
 fight, tell him "Ok...". He will ask if you want to join his clan. 
 Answer "Not interested...". After that, take out your sword to frighten 
 the girl. She will get scared. Say to her "Give me all your money..." 
 or something like that. She will run off.
 
 Next, go to her house. Her father will say that she has not come 
 home yet. Leave and return to where you were before (the bridge). 
 Then, go back to her house again. She will be there with a man with 
 a afro. Have your sword drawn, and she will stay scared. The man 
 will tell you to put it away. Attack him, and after the fight, he 
 will flee. The girl will go with him. Return to the bridge again. 
 Once there you will fight and will kill him. After that, return 
 to where the girl's house is located. You see her father getting 
 tortured.
 
 You have two choices that can be done here. Choose to fight the 
 man that is kicking the old man. After that, kill the man with the 
 gun. Return to the bridge then go back to the house. Walk in with 
 your sword. The girl will run off again.
 
 After that, join any clan and you will finish the game. Because 
 you are not friends with the girl, you will eliminate a large part 
 of the game. You will complete the game and unlock another costume.
