Translated from the original language with Google Translate, so the wording may differ from what was actually said.

Rodrigo Caracamo: How did you spend the first 24 hours outside of Dream Theater?

Mike Portnoy: Scared and very upset at the same time.

(I try to broach the subject of a hypothetical return in the near future, and more than his words, his expression – which isn't one of annoyance, but rather of someone still hurting from what happened – indicates that this won't be possible, at least not in the near future.)

Rodrigo Caracamo: ¿Cómo pasaste las primeras 24 horas fuera de Dream Theater?

Mike Portnoy: Con miedo y muy afectado a la vez.

(Trato de abordar un hipotético regreso en un futuro próximo, y más que por sus palabras, por su expresión, que no es de fastidio, sino más bien de una persona dolida aún con lo ocurrido, denota que esto no será posible, al menos no en un futuro cercano).
