Hard to say without seeing things for myself. [ An impossibility in their present circumstances, obviously, but since it's all hypothetical anyway and they've still got time to kill before their destination and it seems to have distracted Papyrus from giving a demonstration of what exactly a seasick skeleton can get up to... ]
Let's say you really are repeating time over and over again, and it's supposed to make you forget it each time. I've never heard of magic that can do that to time, but I've seen magic that took away someone's memories, and it wasn't permanent. So, like I said, it must have taken a lot of magic to pull it off. It's gotta come from somewhere.
Maybe it's not about stopping the killing, but about stopping something or someone else. Stopping what's really going on. The dying's just one part of the whole thing. [ He wiggles his talons at the Cubone in a 'c'mere' gesture, inviting it closer to give it a gentle scratch on the forehead, claws tapping against bone. ]
'Course, then you have to figure out what's causing it. Way I see it is, could be a couple of things. [ He holds up and ticks off the possibilities as he lists them out. ]
First, and the easiest, is that none of what you or your brother remember is real -- you were just being tricked into thinking it is. I don't know if that's possible with the magic where you're from, but it could be someone forcing you to have a shared vision. The other ... [ Lambert pauses. ] Well, I don't know if it's this 'somebody,' but someone could have cursed all of you. That's the only thing I can think of that would have that much power.
[ He sits back, expectantly, waiting to hear what Papyrus thinks of that theory, but unfortunately? They never get a chance to get around to it, as a wild school-form Wishiwashi chooses right this moment to ram into the side of their boat, nearly knocking all its occupants sideways. In the ensuing chaos and confusion (and inevitably, Pokémon battle -- which poor, Ground-type Pig can't contribute to but which the Scyther Lambert had captured ends up contributing to) the conversation is entirely forgotten. ]
editing this to include reference to handwaved stuff!
