Answer:
before long they're just as unhappy
Explanation:
The word "ecstatic" means <em>a feeling of being very happy or overjoyed.</em> So, this means that the person is extremely happy compared to what he usually feels.
The phrase that serves as a context clue for the word ecstatic is "before long they're just as unhappy." This shows their prior feeling before being ecstatic.
