Prologue Exactly the same as ep1?

Is the prologue the exact same as ep1? I skimmed it and it felt the same, was there any different text at all I should have noted?

They are slightly different! Nothing super important stood out, the conversations flowed mostly the same and many of the lines are identical. A few are slightly off, though. For example, Alice calls you Arisu right after meeting instead of reasoning why he named you that. Arisu suggests smashing the crystals instead of Alice. Small things.

To me, it's insinuating that after Episode 1 finished they ended up back in the same place with their memories wiped again, but maybe part of their subconscious remembers more than last time.
