Brilliant mate in 6!

During this bullet game, my opponent found a brilliant M6 but failed to follow up with the checkmate, allowing me to win on time. Can you find the solution?

I solved as mate in 5 which coincides with your moves shown. Nice.

Edited to add, - You missed a sequence, where white could screw up by capturing the queen, instead of mating in 4.

Edited again - looking closer after noticing something, I now see that black can stop the mate if white tries to follow through. Proper for white is to capture the queen as i see it. Figure it out on your own, or message me for the moves which I am seeing.

Apologies - The different sequence I saw after playing out on the board is still Mate in 5.

It's a mate in 5 on the board. I omitted a queen sacrifice which only delayed mate. I can add it back in, but deemed it unnecessary.
