Since we're just making up an emotion for the cloud to "feel" for the headline why does it have to be lonely? Why can't it at least be horny or something?

Very cool. I knew about Olympus Mons, but TIL about Arsia Mons!

It's okay not to remove the hyphen. It's also correct English to keep the hyphen.
