When you thought that Ran was a crybaby who always cling to Shinichi and cries a lot when he disappeared.
You have to remember this.
Ran Mouri probably suffers from abandonment issues due to her parents' separation.
Ran's childhood days were not as perfect. Her parents were separated, and it deals a great blow to the young girl who always hope for a complete and happy family like any children does.
Worse, her father, Kogoro, was probably too depressed to comfort Ran, that she was alone. Add to the fact that her inner personality affects her character. She doesn't want anyone to see her as a "burden" to others, causing her to hide her real feelings from her friends and family (she always flashes a smile that never reaches her eyes).
(I also experienced that as my parents were also separated at a young age. It's not easy to grow up knowing that they would never ever be together, and eventually developed into a adult crybaby with abandonment issues.)
Shinichi, her childhood friend, was her rock in those trying times. He was always there for her, comforting her in his own way. At the same time, when 14-year-old Shinichi was left alone by his parents, Ran did the same as she could feel the same feeling Shinichi has: having their parents left them alone (in Kogoro's case, became kind of neglectful).
So when Shinichi had disappeared that day in Tropical Land, her abandonment issues flared up, as she had possibly imagine her mother leaving her that fateful day, at the same time Shinichi was leaving her. She had a deep instinct that she will never see him again, as she has also experienced that when Eri left her and Kogoro.
I have been a fan of Detective Conan for 5 years, but it never changed my adoration for the one and only Ran Mouri. That's because as a young woman who also suffers abandonment issues and tried hard to hide her feelings for the sake of others, I could also relate to her... If only I have a Shinichi Kudo to grow up with.
A strong, independent woman can also cries a lot. She is also human like anyone else, she can feel emotions and has her own flaws and insecurities. ❤️
