I spent too much time...

Trying to figure out how white prevents mate sooner than 5. I missed white's pawn taking black night on g5.

I think this is hard because it feels like there are a lot of passive moves, but almost all are threatening a forced checkmate directly after. So only one truly passive move, and white has no response.
