We imaged the field of the SVOM GRB 251013C (Rakotondrainibe et al., GCN Circ. 42222) using the DDRAGO wide-field imager on the SVOM/COLIBRÍ (FM-GFT) telescope. We observed from 2025-10-16 03:10 to 08:29 (57.51 to 62.83 hours after the trigger), obtaining 120 minutes of exposure in the r filter, and from 2025-10-17T03:17 to 03:28 UTC (81.64 to 81.98 hours after the trigger), obtaining 9 minutes of exposure in the r filter.
The image was analyzed with STDWeb/STDPipe (Karpov 2025). The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction.
We detect the optical counterpart, (Palmerio et al., GCN Circ. 42223; Perez-Garcia et al., GCN Circ. 42225; Konno et al., GCN Circ. 42226; Martin-Carrillo et al., GCN Circ. 42227; Masi et al., GCN Circ. 42228; Palmerio et al., GCN Circ. 42229; Moskvitin et al., GCN Circ. 42230; Gompertz et al., GCN Circ. 42231; Lipunov et al., GCN Circ. 42235; Garnavich et al., GCN Circ. 42240; Watson et al., GCN Circ. 42241; López-Cámara et al., GCN Circ. 42242; Zhang et al., GCN Circ. 42248; Brosio et al., GCN Circ. 42251; Reguitti et al., GCN Circ. 42253; Quintana-Ansaldo et al., Circ.

GCN Circ. 42276; Globus et al., GCN Circ. 42279; Abidkhanov et al., GCN Circ. 42283; and Leonini et al., GCN Circ. 42301).
Between our two epochs, the optical counterpart shows a rebrightening of
Delta r = 0.97 +/- 0.05.
Our observations show a strong and late rebrightening.
Further observations and analysis are ongoing.
