Observations started at 2026-03-16T08:07:32 (~ 6.2 d after the GBM trigger) with an average airmass of 1.3. \n\nWe detect the source with a preliminary magnitude of J~18.03 AB mag, calibrated using nearby stars from the 2MASS catalog (Skrutskie et al. 2006), uncorrected for Galactic extinction. \n\nCompared with previous near-infrared observations  (Li et al., GCN 43993; Stein et al., GCN 43996; Brivio et al., GCN 44004), our measurement is consistent with a fading slope of 0.7.\n\nWe acknowledge excellent support from the LBTO and LBT-INAF staff.\n",
