Yeah Nervegear has a hard memory like how Kirito saved Yui to his nervgear and his corrupted items were transferred over, similarly I assume that Pina's heart item would transfer over and since the beast tamer playstyle is availible then it would be possible to revive pina in ALO as well I'm assuming there would be a "revive" station for fallen familiars of beast tamers, since ALO isn't a cutthroat death game like SAO was. Well that's another way the author could have done it but whatever, very deus ex machina.
