He is a man in his late thirties. He lives alone in a run-down flat piled high with old paint
buckets, boxes of screws and nails, a shopping cart, and even a detached kitchen sink. A former
factory worker, he has been unemployed ever since undergoing electric shock treatments years
ago. The treatments left him brain-damaged, and he endures terrible headaches. He rescues
Davies from a fight and brings him to his own flat, where he offers him a bed, a bit of tobacco
for his pipe, an old pair of shoes, and, eventually, a job as caretaker of the building. Aston is
planning to build a wooden shed in the backyard and spends hours planning the materials and
tools he will need, but clearly he will never even begin the project. Instead, he sits on his bed
and pokes at a broken plug with a screwdriver to satisfy his urge to work with his hands. He is
unable to stay focused on any one idea very long or to form any real human connections. He
plans to complete various tasks or talk with people again after he has built his shed. Although
he does not recognize his connection to his brother and to his room, they are all he has, and
when Davies tries to come between Aston and Mick, Mick rejects him and clings to the
security—and isolation—of his life in the flat.
