The Pipes Man shuffled to his left, into the line of vision, kicked a leg out and rushed a snapshot before darting back to his right. No change. Nothing from this kid.

With this set - imagine if the only text was, "The Pipes Man shuffled to his left, into the line of vision, kicked a leg out and rushed a snapshot before darting back to his right. No change. Nothing from this kid."
