Caption: Figure 1.

Large panel: false-color RGB image from the MUSE observation in the Johnson V and the Cousins R and I bands. The location of the transient as reported by the EP Follow-up X-ray Telescope instrument is given in green by the 10 radius with 90% C.L. (J. Guan et al. 2024). The optical transient marked with Optical transient, the host galaxy and a foreground star within the 90% C.L. confidence interval are marked with red, blue, and yellow, respectively. Small panels: r- and i-band imaging at four different epochs.
