I think it's Queen to c5 first. So the black king can't escape to the right. Then just drop down to c1

Yes, that’s it I think.
~~1. Ke3 2. Qf2~~
Nope. That's wrong
~~1.Qb4 2. Qe1++~~
Fuck it. What's the answer?!
Qc5, Ke1 only move, Qc1 is mate I think
Magnifique. I shouldn't try to be doing chess problems while trying to wake up in the shower.
Queen to F5 and after the King moves to D3 or H3?
Neither of these would even check, let alone mate, no matter whether the king is e1 or g1
