Based on the hints given, I put "I am sorry, you can't return." What part implies "this"? Why can't Duo hint at it? (Or is my translation actually right?)

It's just because you can't have objectless sentences with transitive verbs in English but you can in Chinese.

See Rk5I3's comment.
Basically, an object is required in the English translation. The object is not required in the Chinese sentence.
