a)1...S6c4+ 2.Kb5 Rxb6#
    1.fxe6 Bf3+ 2.Kxd6 S2c4#
b) 1.Kd5 Bb3+ 2.Ke5 Sxf7#
c) 1.Kd5 S2c4 2.Ke4 Bf3#
 
Very paradoxical new idea in helpmate. Thematic white pieces Sd6 and Re6 actively play (move) only in the setplay. In the real play disappear (become passive sacrificed) one by one! In the tweens also dissapear one by one, but always different solutions suggests that they are at least as ghosts present in position?! All phases are connected by model mates. (Author)

Very difficult idea and very nice problem. It's pity that wPg7 only closes h7-f7 line. I tried to find better position but without any success.

Very nice and paradoxical idea with black king being mated on four different squares. The setplay enhances the value of the problem.
