Lemma: Given a short exact sequence of cochain complexes in an abelian category $\mathcal{C}$ with enough injectives, $$0 \to P^\bullet \xrightarrow{f} Q^\bullet \xrightarrow{g} R^\bullet \to 0,$$ There exist complexes $I^\bullet, J^\bullet, K^\bullet$ of injective objects, and a diagram commmutative up to homotopy $$ \begin{array}{} 0 & \rightarrow & P^\bullet & \overset{f}{\rightarrow} & Q^\bullet & \overset{g}{\rightarrow} & R^\bullet & \rightarrow & 0 \\ && \!\!\!\! \sim \downarrow a&& \!\!\!\!\sim \downarrow b && \!\!\!\!\sim \downarrow c \\ 0 & \rightarrow & I^\bullet & \overset{u}{\rightarrow} & J^\bullet & \overset{v}{\rightarrow} & K^\bullet & \rightarrow & 0 \end{array} $$ where the rows are exact, and the vertical arrows are homotopy equivalences.
In the proof of this theorem in Iversen's book, he begins by choosing an injective resolution of $Q^\bullet$ and $R^\bullet$, and a map $v$ (unique up to homotopy) between them: $$ \begin{array}{} 0 & \rightarrow & P^\bullet & \overset{f}{\rightarrow} & Q^\bullet & \overset{g}{\rightarrow} & R^\bullet & \rightarrow & 0 \\ &&&& \!\!\!\!\sim \downarrow b && \!\!\!\!\sim \downarrow c \\ & & & & J^\bullet & \overset{v}{\rightarrow} & K^\bullet & \rightarrow & 0 \end{array} $$ Since the diagram is homotopy commutative, he selects a homotopy $Q^\bullet \xrightarrow{s} K^\bullet[-1]$ between $c \circ g \Rightarrow v \circ b$.
So far, so good. Then he says
Choose a map $t:Q^\bullet \xrightarrow{} J^\bullet[-1]$ such that $s=v \circ t$.
This is where I fall off. Why does $s$ necessarily factor through $v[-1]$?
He means choose a map of graded modules, not a chain map. This is possible because $v$ admits a section as a map of graded modules (not as chain complexes).
