Parent model in child model in Prisma?

Sorry for the confusing title, I'm looking to do something like this:

model Parent {
  id         String     @id @default(cuid())
  name  String
  
  children Child[]
}

model Child {
  id               String          @id @default(cuid())
  name  String

 parent   Parent? @relation(fields: [parentId], references: [id])
 parentId String?

subChild Parent // is something like this possible? <<<<
}

model Parent {
  id         String     @id @default(cuid())
  name  String
  
  children Child[]
}

model Child {
  id               String          @id @default(cuid())
  name  String

 parent   Parent? @relation(fields: [parentId], references: [id])
 parentId String?

subChild Parent // is something like this possible? <<<<
}

Why does subChild have parent type? It should work just like the relation above, but you need to give the relation a name if you reference the same model multiple times

i've simplified the example but I need the child to have a child that is essentially a Parent with children that have the same properties as Child

What is not working when making this a relation like the one above then? Also, this might be because its simplified but if this is a tree structure it should only be a node model that references itself i think.
