In Chapter 34 of Murakami's Kafka on the Shore, In the hotel, Nakata takes a long nap while Hoshino quits his job without worrying. Hoshino explores the city and finds a nice coffee shop. He feels lost, but believes he's meant to be with Nakata. The cafe owner, a retired official, asks if the music bothers Hoshino. He likes the music, which is Beethoven's Archduke Trio. Hoshino visits again, and this time, the owner plays Haydn. Childhood memories make Hoshino see his life as meaningless. He decides that helping Nakata is more important than his job.
