The image features a black and white illustration of a badger with a surprised or shocked expression. The badger is standing on its hind legs, with its front paws raised as if it's trying to communicate or express something. Above the badger, there is text that reads "AWAKE" in large, bold letters, and below it, in smaller text, is the phrase "BUT AT WHAT COST." The overall style of the image is reminiscent of a comic or cartoon, with the text and the badger's pose suggesting a narrative or a message. The color scheme is monochromatic, which gives the image a classic or timeless feel.
