When Twilight and Venom took down Riot, the rest of the symbiotes all agreed to take willing hosts and live new, peaceful lives. But one particular symbiote managed to escape Equestria. And he has no intention of joining the good side.

nice work
Oh Sunset.....
I need moar...
Sunset sure is quick to accept a dead body and effectively cannibalism. Sure the previous chapters established that symbiotes can influence a host's thought process, but it's not clear if any of that is happening here let alone just how big a leap such things should be for Sunset.

Might be more of a problem for sunset if the dead body was in equine non transformed form

I thought about that but got caught up in focusing on what Carnage was thinking and let Sunset's own feelings fall off my radar, so to speak. I personally imagined that when she laid down and was trying not to cry, she absolutely was thinking about things and feeling awful, but as the narrative had shifted to Carnage he just ignored it. I can see about editing the chapter to make that more apparent to the reader, but I won't be able to update it until this afternoon.
I can definitely see the difference between Venom and Carnage. With Venom and Twilight's relationship, they can do whatever they want the way they see it. But with Carnage and Sunset's relationship, the symbiote holds all the cards when he's in control

Carnage makes sense in this scene, so good on that level. But from Sunset's perspective she's A) just now have visual confirmation that aliens exist (she's knows for a while thanks to Twilight. But there's a big gap between being told and seeing firsthand), B) making a pretty big decision to effectively share her body after a quick 3 minute or so talk, C) she just saw the previous host die in front of her eyes. Even if she believes Carnages lies, the thought process of 'previous host = dead after transfer' would be unsettling, D) the transfer itself hurt so more red flags (no pun intended), E) after all the above Carnage response to then get her to indulge in cannibalism by proxy.
I'm just saying that's a lot to take in from such a short time frame, and the rest of the chapter makes it clear that Carnage spent a week not making himself exactly pleasant to be with. I'm not sure Sunset's is expressing the appropriate level of distress throughout this chapter.
The next thing she knows she becomes demonic, while wearing casual clothes and her friends just stare at her as she goes "what?"

The rewrites made it an easier sell, yes.
Hey Moron, Use your geode!

That'll probably kill Sunset if she tries to use her magic to remove Carnage by force bcuz he'll drain her life force just like he did to Light Touch after he jumped ship and bonded to her. You forget, the only way to safely remove a rogue symbiote by force is with loud noises in the 4000-6000 megahertz variety, or burn it with fire as it's already taken form. For now, Sunset Shimmer is in a hostage situation until Venom comes to the rescue once he and Twilight catch wind of Carnage in the human world and see that Sunset is in trouble and tell her the truth about Carnage's true intentions

No, use the geode to at least learn his plan

It's less "drain life force" and more "literally eating the host from the inside out".
Same concept though. If she does try to remove him (without him somehow finding out beforehand) then it's still a race to do so before Carnage can get a good "bite" on any organs.
Oh poor sunset. I hope things work out but it dont think it will.
I feel so sorry for sunset right now.
Ok venom started as a dick due to circumstances and reason to carnage sees to be a utter psychopath I look forward to seeing how sunset actually manages to get him to behave later on lol

For some reason, don't think that's really gonna happen
