    ML uses a leg brace for an undisclosed condition.  However, the brace breaks about a third of the way in, and he just limps along the rest of the time and is never like, "Hey, I need to make a new leg brace" even though he's surrounded by plenty of the same natural materials the original brace appeared to be made of.  (Also the limp seems to disappear during a climactic moment, but it does reappear again later.)
